Dr. Scott Hormell, Trisha Dunn, & Julie Woolf have provided me with excellent care over the last decade. I have had both my knees replaced by Dr. Scott and his team. Thanks to their continued help, support & care I now have a new lease on life at 72 years old.

Friends highly recommended Dr. Hormel when it became apparent I could no longer postpone knee replacement surgery- the pain had become nearly constant and my range of motion was very much compromised. From the very first appointment it was clear that Dr. Hormel was the right choice. At the pre-op appointment he was very specific and direct as to what I must do to ensure a good outcome after surgery. I’m now looking forward to having Dr. Hormel replace the other knee soon.

Terrible. A total of 4 minutes to assess me, 1 minute to send me for an MRI, and 3 minutes on the phone to tell me I needed surgery. He was nonchalant and kept saying the surgery is "easy" and "not a big deal." Tried to contact him 6 times in a week to ask questions about the surgery (email and phone) and he NEVER responded. Appointment rushed, I felt like a number. The doctors are owners of the MRI place which felt like profit was prioritized over care.

I had an injured knee (bone chip) for over a decade and didn't realize it. Once cartilage began to deteriorate and present arthritis related issues Dr. Hormel discovered the injury. I had the chipped bone surgically removed and the bone appropriately trimmed. Dr. Hormel's guidance has given me renewed, pain free life in my knee. Several years have passed but on beautiful August days like today I can't thank him enough.

Nine years ago Dr. Hormel replaced my left knee joint with excellent results. So, this year when my right knee needed the same surgery, I chose to return to Swedish Hospital and requested Dr. Hormel for my surgeon. The staff is knowable and cheerful. It is seven weeks post op and again the results are excellent. I am able to do moderate outdoor work about the property-mowing via rider and push mowers, woodshop work, and brush work. I spend probably four hours or more on my feet. I would rate Dr. Scott Hormel a five star out ... read more

Dr. Hormel was thorough. His matter of fact manner was no issue as he gave me excellent information and all the time I needed. My surgery was completely successful. I'm a critical consumer and was happy with service from beginning to end. Update: Dr. Hormel trimmed my Meniscus on my other knee a few months ago. Again, all went well and I'm able to be back to running at 64. Diagnosis and repair were right on. I'm a critical consumer and Dr. Hormel gets an A+.

I have seen Dr Hormel for knee issues over the past 10 years and think very highly of him. He is competent he has great bedside manner I trust him completely. He's also seen my mother for knee Replacements and actually repaired a bad job she had had from a different surgeon he's great!

Super surgeon. Doesn't jump into surgery as a first option, and is with you all the way as you try different options. When the time comes for surgery, he's terrific, kind and thorough. Can't recommend him more highly for knee surgery!

I had both knee replacement last year and I could not have asked for a better surgeon and team then dr hormel,Teresa,and Julie. It has been six months for my right knee and 3months for my left knee. I was walking the other day and I was walking normal with no pain which had not been the case in 10 years. It was amazing. I highly highly recommend dr hormel. As long as you do exactly as instructed followed by physical therapy your out come should be fantastic. Thank you dr hormel for new knees
